OK i have wanted to scrap this picture for a long time and I just got the courage today after discussing depression with a friend of mine. I suffer major depressive episodes and at one point was so depressed that killing myself seemed rational. The journaling reads
“At one point in my life I was extremely depressed. I really just wanted to die, but I wanted my young daughter to have something to remember me by, a heirloom that she could pass on to her children. I found this cross stitch pattern for an incredible sampler one that was my perfect ideal of a heirloom that she could be proud of and pass on to future generations. I knew it would take a long time to complete, but it was going to be my parting gift to her. I worked long and hard on that sampler in order to finish it before I left this earth by my own hand, but something happened and God blessed me while I was working and due to new treatments, my depression eased and I saw how warped my thoughts had become. Gods gentle hand guided mine in every single stitch ensuring that his angels here on earth would have time to work their medical magic. Now I know to watch for the symptoms that I am entering a really blue period and go get help before it gets out of control, and this sampler is my reminder and my daughter’s heirloom.”
The kit i used was from Divine Digital's Princess Lala's Funky Fairy Tales: The prince and the princess. The angel wings under the flower are from a crop kit given out by Royanna Fritschmann.
